"Alas, Fellow Daoist Shen has a keen eye. The resources in the gray world are indeed limited. Although our demon clan has been searching for various resources in the gray world these years, the number of immortal stones accumulated is not large, let alone billions of tons, just ten We can’t even get out billions of tons.”
The Black Dragon King had no choice but to admit it.
Shen Lang said in a deep voice: "Since your clan's resources are not enough to build this great formation, the only way is to bring the soul clan in and join forces to build the great formation."
The Black Dragon King's face changed several times, and he sighed: "Friend Daoist Shen, our Demon Clan and the Soul Clan have almost a life-and-death relationship. Even if I can agree to this, the ten stubborn old souls of the Soul Clan will not agree. ."
Shen Lang pondered for a while and said: "Leave it to me to persuade the Soul Clan. Fellow Daoist Black Dragon, you first collect the materials to build the formation."
Although the Black Dragon King was somewhat reluctant to cooperate with the Soul Clan, in order to leave the gray world, he could only hold back his unhappiness and agreed to Shen Lang.
In the next few days, Shen Lang visited the top tribes of the Soul Clan one by one, and sent an invitation to the "Top Ten Strongmen of the Soul Clan" as a disciple of Zixiao.
The so-called top ten masters of the Soul Clan are the ten masters of the Divine Origin Realm of the Soul Clan, who control many resources of the Soul Clan.
Shen Lang stated in the invitation that he would be on top of a snow mountain within the Soul Clan, waiting for the arrival of ten powerful men from the Soul Clan, saying that he had important matters to discuss.
On top of the snow-capped mountains, Shen Lang had already set up a tea banquet, waiting for the powerful soul clan to arrive.
I heard that Zixiao's disciples had invited him, and all ten powerful men from the Soul Clan were present. They all wanted to see who this so-called Zixiao disciples were.
It was also the first time for Shen Lang to see a powerful person at the level of the Soul Clan Heavenly Lord, and he couldn't help but secretly be speechless.
The Heavenly Lord of the Soul Clan, who is as powerful as the Divine Source Realm, actually does not have a physical body, but his soul body and soul are blooming with dazzling golden light, and the soul power fluctuations he emits are so powerful that they can distort space.
These ten powerful soul clan masters probably only have the cultivation level of the early stage of the Divine Source Realm, but the power of their souls is actually only slightly inferior to Shen Lang.
You must know that Shen Lang used the devouring ability of the blood nerves to absorb countless Yuanshen, and by refining the blood of the ancestral dragon, the strength of the Yuanshen was comparable to that of a strong person in the Divine Spring Realm.
These are only Soul Clan Heavenly Lords whose cultivation is at the early stage of the Divine Source Realm. It is really shocking that their Yuan Shen can be so powerful.
"Shen is here for the first time. I met all the Taoist fellows from the Soul Clan first." Shen Langke politely saluted with clasped fists.
All the masters of the Soul Clan also clasped their fists in return.
An elder of the top ten masters of the Soul Clan asked straight to the point: "Friend Daoist Shen, you said you are a disciple of Zixiao. I wonder who you studied under? Do you hold any position in Zixiao Palace? Why did you come to the gray world?"
"Shen is not an orthodox disciple of Zixiao, but my master is the Supreme Taoist Patriarch of Zixiao Palace, so he can be regarded as half a disciple of Zixiao..."
Shen Lang didn't finish his words.
"What, are you a direct disciple of Taishang Daozu?"
The ten powerful soul clan men were shocked.
What kind of monk is Taishang Daozu?
That was the eldest disciple of Patriarch Hongjun of Zixiao Palace, and he was also the messenger of the gray world.
Back then, it was Taishang Daozu who opened the entrance to the Gray Realm, allowing countless soul clans to take refuge in the Gray Realm and save their lives.
It can be said that Taishang Daozu is the savior of all living beings in the gray world.
An elder from the Soul Clan stood up and said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, Taishang Dao Ancestor only has one direct disciple named 'Randeng Taoist'. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Shen is that 'Randeng Taoist'?"
This soul clan elder was a monk who survived the disaster in the Hunyuan Era. He was obviously well-informed and actually mentioned the name of Taoist Ran Deng, which surprised Shen Lang.
"Yes, I am that Taoist Ran Deng, and the word 'Randeng' is Shen's Taoist name." Shen Lang saw that the other party actually knew Taoist Ran Deng, so he simply got off the slope and pretended to be Taoist Ran Deng.
Randen Ancient Buddha once taught Shen Lang the coffin palace lantern and the Buddha's relics, and he was considered to be half of Shen Lang's master.
Although it was a bit disrespectful for the apprentice to pretend to be the master, Shen Lang had no other choice in order to successfully enter the Zixiao Palace.
In fact, with his ability, he could use force to make these strong soul clan men surrender, but Shen Lang was unwilling to do so.
Compared to the demon clan who bullies the weak, the soul clan is a kind and righteous party, at least in Shen Lang's view.
The elder of the Soul Clan questioned: "Although I have never seen that Taoist Ran Deng, I heard that this Taoist Ran Deng has been accompanied by a spiritual lamp since he was born, and he has never left his body all day long..."
"Fellow Taoist is indeed well-informed, and this thing is the spiritual lamp in your mouth."
In order to convince him, Shen Lang directly offered the coffin palace lantern.
He held the coffin palace lantern in the palm of his hand, and it bloomed with brilliant glazed holy light.
After being illuminated by the glazed holy light, the strong men of the soul clan instantly felt a vast ocean-like vitality pouring into their souls. Each of them was greatly refreshed, and their souls seemed to be nourished.
This feeling of comfort made the powerful soul clan members feel indescribably happy.
"It's really that coffin palace lantern!"
The elder of the soul clan widened his eyes before, and then apologized to Shen Lang repeatedly: "I have a blind eye, but I don't know Taishan. I actually questioned the identity of Fellow Daoist Shen. I am really stupid. I hope Fellow Daoist will bear with me."
Shen Lang was also a little embarrassed, shook his head and said: "This gray world has been closed for many years. It is normal for fellow Taoists to have doubts. Don't worry about it."
"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Shen invites me here to discuss?" A strong man from the Soul Clan couldn't help but ask.
"What Shen is going to say next is not only crucial to you and others, but also related to the rise and fall of the entire gray world."
Shen Lang took a deep breath and told the ten powerful soul clan men about his plan to build a great formation to the sky and enter the Zixiao Palace.
He also persuaded them to put aside their fight with the demon clan and cooperate to build the Great Formation to the Sky.
"Let us cooperate with the demon clan, this is absolutely impossible!" The elder of the soul clan was the first to disagree.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, since you are a disciple of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor, how can you turn against the demon clan? Don't you know the ugly behavior of the demon clan in our gray world?"
"Yeah, that's ridiculous!"
All the strong soul clan members expressed their dissatisfaction.
Shen Lang said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please be patient and please listen to what I have to say."
"Although I came to the gray world not long ago, I also know what the demon clan did to your clan. Not long ago, Shen gave a severe lesson to the demon emperor Black Dragon King near the demon clan camp. You just need to inquire a little, You should be able to know this."
"Back then, Taishang Daozu's original intention of opening the gray world was to allow all living beings to have a shelter and coexist peacefully with each other, instead of fighting and killing each other."
"Nowadays, it takes a huge amount of fairy stones to build this sky-reaching formation. The resources of your soul clan alone are far from enough. We can only complete the construction of the formation by wooing the demon clan and gathering the strength of the two clans."
"Then the Black Dragon King has surrendered to me and expressed his willingness to devote resources to cooperate with the Soul Clan in building the Heaven-reaching Formation. Since there is such a good opportunity, why should you refuse?"
"Furthermore, the true immortal world is much broader than the gray world. If you can leave the gray world, I believe you can lead the soul clan to the road of prosperity."
Shen Lang Xiaozhi was moved by reason, and after some persuasion, the ten powerful soul clan men who had been extremely tough before also hesitated.
